Furthermore, the leader of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria, Sheikh Ibrahim Zakzaky has also led the same program in his resistance in Abuja with attendance of people.
Zeenah Ibrahim, Islamic cleric and wife of Sheikh Zakzaky in an exclusive interview with Iran Press said "when the Zionists terrorist regime carried out the aggressions on Iran, it was very saddened to us because a lot of good servants of Allah (Iran's military commanders) were assassinated. But when the Islamic Republic started retaliations, we have been very happy. We thank Allah who made the Islamic Republic successful. May Allah continue to punish the Zionists at the hands of (Iranians) good servants of Allah."
